    Quite the opposite. I’ve diagnosed CPTSD, and the only way out of hell, is changing your own perspective. Trying to accept, reframe, rebuild.

    It’s pain. It’s slow. It’s hard. It’s the only way.

      Thanks for the recommendation. A previous partner of mine had CPTSD and I’ve always wished I understood it more.

      Did professional help, help in any way other than just saying you have to work with people who have never suffered and go through life not thinking about their consequences?

      Cause I don’t want to be like everyone else. I’ve seen them. They disgust me.

          I’ve done some. And mine was trying to make me feel some kind of way when that is not, I felt, the point. I didn’t care to be my own blind hype man.
          Out of my many therapists I have not found one that doesn’t want me to be either uncaring towards or otherwise unrealistic about my life.

          What I am imagining is therapy which I have had. They insist on getting the right high from life but mine does not provide that and I don’t need it to. None of us should. I’ve yet to see a therapist offer other than what is the socially acceptable way to be.

            I’m sorry to hear that. I did have 2 therapists quit on me, before arriving at the right place. It’s not a one stop shop.
